Chapter 26 26 [Green Card Fitness Halloween]
The publication of the paper "Using the Density of Celestial Objects in the Kuiper Belt to Limit Its Elemental Composition and Formation History" not only increased Xiang Nan's popularity and status in the industry, but also benefited a lot from his collaborator, Dr. Gablehaus.
He was originally just an academic star. He has not done original research for more than 20 years, but only published some popular science books, so his status in the academic world is actually very low.
If he writes this influential paper, his reputation in the academic world will be greatly improved, which will make him very happy.
"Rajesh, thank you very much." He smiled and said to Xiang Nan.
"You're welcome, Dr. Gablehouse." Xiang Nan smiled slightly, "You have also put in a lot of hard work, and you deserve this honor."
"That's right." Gablehouse nodded, "In December, the school organized a research trip to Geneva to observe the super collider of CERN, and I'm going to put you on the list. And, you You can take your little girlfriend with you."
"Thank you, Dr. Gablehouse, you are so generous." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, I want to apply for a green card, and I hope you can help me write a letter of recommendation."
Raj is still getting the H-1B visa (short-term non-immigrant work visa for foreigners).
The validity period of this visa is very short, the longest is only six years. And once you lose your job, you must leave the United States the next day.
In the play, Raj was almost expelled because he lost his job.
So Xiangnan is going to apply for a green card once and for all. And if there is a school to endorse for yourself, the success rate is bound to increase greatly.
"Absolutely no problem." Gablehouse agreed.
Helping to apply for a green card is a good thing for him without cost, so why not do it.
…
A few days later, Xiang Nan began to prepare for the Halloween party.
Pumpkin lanterns, candies, decorations, snacks, drinks, and game props are all indispensable.
"Haney, how do you think we should dress up for Halloween?" Penny asked curiously.
"To be honest, I don't have any ideas." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But couple outfits should be a good choice."
"I think so too." Penny nodded, "Then what do you think of Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella and Prince Charming?"
"Well, good idea." Xiang Nan laughed, "Do you think Aladdin and Princess Jasmine are also good?"
Aladdin and Princess Jasmine are the hero and heroine in the Disney animation "Aladdin". That cartoon was released in the 1990s and earned $200 million at the box office. It was one of Disney's highest-grossing cartoons and had a huge impact.
"Aladdin and Princess Jasmine?!" Penny blinked, "OK, let's choose the two of them."
Xiang Nan then went to rent clothes. After trying them on, he couldn't help laughing when he looked at me and I looked at you.
Penny playing Princess Jasmine is not a problem. She has a pretty face and a hot body, and she can't be too ugly no matter how she dresses up.
Xiang Nan's Aladdin has some problems. Because Aladdin's shape is topless, and Xiang Nan doesn't have a small belly, but he doesn't have chocolate abs, so he looks a little inferior.
"Oh, it seems that I have to exercise more these days." Xiang Nan patted his lower abdomen.
"However, I think your chest hair is still unruly." Penny pointed at Xiang Nan's chest and smiled.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan began to lose weight and exercise.
This surprised Howard, because Raj had rarely exercised before.
Not only him, but all four of them. Don't stand when you can sit, don't run when you can walk.
Howard often joked that after he was fifty years old, he would die of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
"Raj, are you serious, I've never seen you exercise before." He was surprised.
"Howie, exercising is also good." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I've only been exercising for three days, and I've lost two pounds. And looking at my abdominal muscles, they're already in shape. Right?"
"You already have Penny now, and there are so many girls who like it, you can't be so desperate." Howard laughed.
If he had a beautiful girlfriend like Penny, and so many girls secretly admired him, he wouldn't come to the gym to exercise.
Xiang Nan smiled.
Actually, he didn't like exercising either. I feel that there is a life between life and death, and that wealth is in the sky. Hades will let you die on the third watch, and will never keep you until the fifth watch. Whether you exercise or not, you will die.
What's more, his life was not happy in the first place, he was poor and ugly, he didn't have a girlfriend, and his life was not very interesting, but dying early was a kind of relief.
But now he has changed his mind. Now that he is successful and famous, he lives a comfortable life and is accompanied by a beautiful girlfriend. He can be called a winner in life.
Since this is the case, you must take good care of yourself and exercise, so that you can enjoy life better.
Presumably Raj will thank him for leaving him a healthy, strong and perfect body, and give him a little more reward for it.
"Howie, you should also exercise. Otherwise, even if you have a girlfriend, but because of your health, you can't satisfy her, wouldn't that be a tragedy?" Xiang Nan persuaded.
"Oh." Hearing what he said, Howard suddenly showed a clear expression.
No wonder Xiang Nan practiced so hard, he had such a beautiful girlfriend to serve, so of course he had to work harder.
However, he had a point. If the physique is too poor, it is really not good for making a girlfriend.
Thus, driven by Xiang Nan, Howard also started to come to the gym to exercise.
…
November 1, Saturday, Halloween.
After getting up in the morning, Xiang Nan began to arrange.
There are skeletons hung on the door of the corridor, and two jack-o-lanterns are placed in front of the door. A large bowl of candy was placed on the table behind the door, within easy reach.
Placing a few skull lamps in the room, and sticking a few pieces of silk spider webs, it is already very Halloween atmosphere.
The party started at six o'clock in the evening, and the guests came one after another at six ten.
The first one to come was Howard. He followed Xiang Nan's instructions and dressed himself up as Captain Jack.
Johnny Depp was a big hit in those years. In 2007, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" he starred in had a box office of 960 million US dollars, making it the highest-grossing movie of the year. As a result, the virtual character of Captain Jack became popular and became a popular anti-traditional hero.
"Wow, Captain Jack~" After Penny opened the door, she couldn't help seeing Howard dressed up like this.
"Hi, dear lady~" Howard pinched his orchid fingers, walked in with small steps, and imitated Johnny Depp's speech.
"Wow!" Penny couldn't help but be amazed seeing his imitation so vividly, she didn't expect Howard to have such talent.
